Between colleagues catching up, engaging sessions 2016 ASAG Arizona Safety and discussions, and all of the entertainment (from activities and Award by certain people), it is no wonder that several days passed in what ADOT Aeronautics Corner seemed to be a blink of the eye. In case you weren’t able to attend the conference, here are some highlights and photos capturing some of President’s Message the fun and productive interactions that took place at this year’s spring conference. Mark Your Calendars More than 160 people attended the conference up in beautiful Flagstaff, Arizona. We weathered the elements, too! Cool rain gave way to a couple inches of fresh snow, but the conference ended sunny and warm. Although the golf tournament was canceled due to Mother Nature, several committed conference attendees weren’t going to let the rain and snow keep them away from the golf course…however, some of the golfers claim that it was the distractions of the deer and the elk that impacted their ability to swing a club. This year’s Spring Conference was chock-full of very relevant and thought-provoking sessions. Some of the most notable topics were the always-popular FAA AND ADOT Update; UAS/Drones – The Good, the Bad & the Ugly; and a presentation by City of Flagstaff staff sharing their approach to Airport & Community Marketing. Mike Williams, FAA ADO Manager, shared that the State of Arizona did very well in 2015 with the amount of grant funds received by Airport Sponsors, although we have work to do in expending our grant funds in a timely manner. Mike Klein, ADOT Aeronautics Group Manager, reminded the organization that the State Aviation Fund continues to have the eyes of the legislature focused upon it. Our vigilance in helping to educate and protect the Fund was evident and in action at the conference, and we must continue that commitment with tenacity. A tremendous thanks goes out to the 20 exhibitors and 27 sponsors that were able to help make this conference a success. As always, the Conference Planning Committee, made up by many members of AzAA, did an outstanding job of planning and executing the conference. Be on the lookout for information on next year’s Spring Conference! 2016 ADOT AIRPORT OF THE YEAR There are never a shortage of pleasant surprises in our great control of the airfield, removed the security gates and guards organization, especially at our Spring Conferences.

As Mr. Klein read the In 2012, Pinal County set out to change those perceptions and numerous accomplishments and dedicated steps that Pinal County turn the Airpark back around to promote its positive contributions had taken to address some of the concerns and misconceptions to Arizona’s economy and the flying public.

The process never seems to end, but that is a good thing because proper planning is essential to orderly airport development. Below are important dates to remember for Sponsors’ upcoming ACIP submittals: X September 2, 2016 ACIP Submittal Deadline to ADOT’s website X September - November ADOT Evaluation of ACIP Submittals X December 19, 2016 ACIP Data Sheets due to FAA As we all know, previous sweeps of the State Aviation Fund continue to have a negative impact on grant funding even today. Budget issues are holding up the issuance of new FY 2017 grants. Rest assured that ADOT Aeronautics staff are working hard to provide the ADOT budget office an accurate cash flow so that grant funds can be released for important projects throughout Arizona. ADOT Aeronautics staff will contact Airport Sponsors as soon as they know when the FY 2017 funds are released. On a more positive note, ADOT Aeronautics has added two new staff members to the group. These new additions will help ADOT Aeronautics better assist Airport Sponsors and operate on a more proactive basis. Don Kriz joined ADOT Aeronautics in April as the State Matt Smith returned to ADOT as the Prodigal Son (aka Airport Engineer. Don enjoys his position because he Grant Manager) in January.

    Appendix C 14 CFR PART 150 REVIEW Appendix C 14 CFR Part 150 Review INVENTORY Ryan Airfield INTRODUCTION The purpose of this review is to provide an assessment for the current Noise Compati- bility Study by reexamining the noise and land use conditions at Ryan Airfield and the surrounding area. The information presented in this section will be used to identify existing and future noise-sensitive areas that may be adversely impacted by aircraft noise and to evaluate the current strategies to mitigate or avoid those impacts. The information in this chapter includes: A discussion of the purpose and procedures required to undertake a Noise Compati- bility Program, as described under Title 14, Part 150 of the Code of Federal Regula- tions (CFR) (formerly referred to as F.A.R. Part 150). A description of airport facilities, airspace, and airport operating procedures. A discussion of the roles and responsibilities for each of the entities impacted by aircraft activity from Ryan Airfield. An overview of the land use planning documents and tools applicable within the area surrounding the airport. The information outlined in this appendix was obtained through on-site inspections, interviews with airport staff, airport tenants, and representatives of Pima County Planning, the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT), and the Federal Avia- C-1 tion Administration (FAA). Information was also obtained from available documents concerning the airport and the Tucson area. This review is being prepared concurrently with the Airport Master Plan Update for Ryan Airfield. This provides ample opportunity for the full assessment of potential noise impacts of alternative master planning strategies.
